amortn
(Lat amor, love + Lat mort, death) – the double instinct of love and
death; the ambivalent unionof
Eros and Thanatos or the transformation of one into another; a cruel and
(self)destructive passion that leads to the ruin of the loved or the lover.

Amort is the most common theme of European literature,
from "Tristan and Isolde" toOscar Wilde's "The Ballad of Reading Gaol":

Call it perversion if you
will, but I detest the grown man full-bearded and wooly-chested, the mature and
significant man—affreux, dreadful!….It's only you boys I have loved from
the beginning—as a
girl of thirteen I was crazy about a boy of fourteen or fifteen. The ideal grew
a little as I grew but it never went above eighteen; my taste, the yearning of
my senses never reached beyond that…."
Thomas Mann Felix Krull (The
Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man,
New York, Alfred Knopf, 1955, p. 176).

In Lolita, Nabokov
uses once the phrase "a little Faun" to describe the male parallel to
"nymphete," a sexually appealing girl. However, this idiom, unlike
"nymphete," hasn't taken root. Essentially, all these terms, nymphete and Lolita, little Faun and Armand,
describe a heterosexual attitude of adult men and women to very young girls and
boys (approximately 9-14 and 12-18 years, respectively).

in her class. And she found one named Seth. By the time he turned 14 she was

bangover n (bang+over; cf. hangover) – a state of exhaustion due to sexual
indulgence or other excessive excitement.

"Bang" has the informal
meaning: "a sense of excitement; athrill"; to "bang"
(slang) -"to have sexual
intercourse."If
"hangover" refers to after-effects of indulgence in alcohol, then
"bangover"refers to after-effects of sexual
excess and extravagance.

Good morning. You
are looking a little bit haggard, my friend. A hangover? – Well, and bangover, too.

I've heard the Japanese have coined a
word derived from "sex-over," "sekusu oba," for which
condition small bottles of pick-me-up are specifically marketed on platforms of
commuter railway stations at early morning. In English, it could be called bangover, or sexhaustion.

"Dislove" is a deeper feeling than
"dislike,"it is not
just a matter of taste, but of personal relationship.It is addressed to individuals rather than to inanimate
entities.Dislove implies a strong negative emotional connection to
its human object.

I don't
dislike Andy, I dislove him. I would
never marry a person whom I dislike.

eroticon n– a lexicon of love; a collection of words,
idioms, thoughts, stories, and other discourses on love, eros, and romance.

An eroticon is a rare but powerful type of analytic compendium.
Roland Barthes' A Lover’s Discourse is an outstanding
example.

philocrat - a
personwho believes in the power
of love, in governance by love.

Philocracy is based on the assumption that all authority is
from God. God is Love. Hence love should be the ultimate authority in
society.

Philocracy is not
the same as theocracy, which implies the power of organized religion. What is commonly understood by theocracy would be
better termed hierocracy- government by the clergy,ecclesiastical rule.The true theocracy is philocracy.
The Scripture does not say "God is clergy." It says: "God is
Love."
